Fremont, California - September 30, 2003 - Hurricane Electric, a leading Technical Service
Provider, announced
today that Ringo.com, a social networking
site that allows members to interact online,
has selected Hurricane Electric as their premier colocation provider.

Ringo.com, launched in June 2003,
boasts over 250,000 members and has a growth rate of
10% per week. The social networking site, allows members to interact online within their
own personal and private communities of friends, friends' friends, and friends of
friends' friends. The online community is very personal and allows members to network and
meet new people through their existing friends.

"Hurricane Electric is one of the few hosting companies that didn't get caught up in
the Internet bubble, they grew organically during the boom and have continued to do so
since," said Michael Birch, co-founder of Ringo.com. "Hurricane Electric seems to be the
company that others now go to as more providers close their doors."

"We've colocated with a few of the big boys in the past and were disappointed. This
time we chose Hurricane Electric because they offer an honest, simple pricing model and
their sales staff is as technical as their technicians, added Birch. We are confident
that our servers are in good hands at Hurricane Electric!"

The partnership will allow Ringo.com to
utilize Hurricane Electric's data center and
global OC48 network to provide people with the ability to network and make new
connections around the world.

Developed on the six degrees of separation concept, where everyone in the world is
connected to everybody else through, at most, six people, Ringo.com strives to take the
concept a step further. Ringo.com envisions online communities where it is possible for
people to spend holidays together, baby-sit for each other's children, pets and homes,
and see movies with new people.

The partnership with Ringo.com illustrates Hurricane Electric's enterprising spirit,
flexibility, and strength in the industry, which allows it to continue attracting clients
around the world. Hurricane Electric currently serves several thousand colocation
customers from around the world, including several of the world's larger web hosting
companies.
